    Other than the obvious which is market it for sale (my main purpose and motivation for all types of investments like this).

    My question for all of you is this...

    What kinds of creative ways could you use a limousine to market your business? (besides the obvious car-wrap, etc.).

    Got some pictures? Always did like the mirror ceiling with the lights and what not up there.

    Slap the traditional graphic or URL on it, rip the exhaust off, and go to the drag races. It'll get you some fun exposure.

    Could do some Limo donuts with it and toss that vid on youtube. I'd watch that...and then I'd be really curious as to what URL is behind all the madness.

    I really like the ideas KMulligan and SSM put out there, but here's another:

    Talk to a body shop in your area and have them pimp it out. Then hold an auction "Sponsored By ______ (your company) and ________ (the bodyshop)." Pay the body shop their cut after the sale, and give the rest to a worthy charity, maybe something your potential customers could relate to. Get a couple papers to run the story throughout the process and get the hype up online through blogs, forums, etc..

    so have you done anything with it?

    another idea...make it a "Green" limo and cart around all the Green celebs in Hollywood

    Your word of mouth advertising would spread like (oh god should I say it...) california wildfire.

    Practically I dont know what your budget is but I'd assume you could recoupe the cost of converting a gasoline into hybrid fairly quick. I've read about conversions being anywhere from $5k-15k.

    It's not nice enough to Hollywood and I don't have any interest in relocating - but that's a good idea for someone else :)

    So far I've just enjoyed it myself. Hired a driver on the weekends and parties. Good times. I might not be able to sell it, it's too much fun.

    Give free rides ( or really cheap rides) at grad time to promote your business. Just have it sponsored by whatever business you want to promote.

    In my neck of the woods that would get you in the paper and maybe on the news...

    People might come to you and pay you next year to be the sponsor!
